They do not have a retail outlet in form of a branch office in a retail corridor, and mostly deal with mortgage brokers directly.) offers lower mortgage rates than the more renowned lenders best mortgage deals and most if not, all are either wholly owned or part owned by the big five lenders in Canada. If not owned or in an agreement, Mono Lenders rely on banks, insurance companies, mutual funds etc. to buy or fund their mortgages.
